“I'm not asking them to be Karl Malone, but I think I have a right to hold players accountable. If I do that, then I'm being a little bit too harsh on them at times. But we have a tendency to think that no work is the best policy and that will cause you a great deal of trouble.”

Jerry Sloan on timeouts (which he totally sucks at, but was better last season): "That's like giving them a handful of candy. As soon as they eat it, they come back and want more. I don't play that with them all the time. I've never done it since I've been in coaching."

Ah yes, I'll never forget that 25-4 (or whatever) run by Dallas last year with 1) no timeouts and 2) no adjustments (Okur stayed on Nowitzki until the game was tied). Classic Sloan!
